Review: CI/CD pipeline — Woodpecker config

review-1696-2026-07-02 Review

review approved

Verdict: APPROVED

CI/CD pipeline ticket is well-scoped, all template sections complete, traceability solid. Minor recommendation to create the backing architecture note for arch:ci-pipeline.

Template Completeness

  • [x] Type — Feature
  • [x] Lineage — Standalone
  • [x] Repo — ldraney/kalshi-assistant
  • [x] User Story — present
  • [x] Context — present, references landscaping-assistant pattern
  • [x] File Targets — 2 files to create
  • [x] Feature Flag — none (explicitly stated)
  • [x] Acceptance Criteria — 6 criteria
  • [x] Test Expectations — present
  • [x] Constraints — present with Harbor base image and target
  • [x] Checklist — present
  • [x] Related — present

Traceability

  • [x] story:platform-setup label — Platform Setup
  • [x] story note verified — found in project-kalshi-assistant user-stories section
  • [x] arch:ci-pipeline label — CI Pipeline
  • [ ] arch note MISSING — [SCOPE] Create architecture note arch-ci-pipeline for component ci-pipeline
  • [x] Forgejo issue — ldraney/kalshi-assistant#11, open

File Targets

  • [x] .woodpecker.yaml — to create; confirmed does not exist yet
  • [x] Dockerfile — to create (if not created by rails scaffold ticket); confirmed does not exist yet

Repo Placement

OK — issue filed on ldraney/kalshi-assistant, all work targets the same repo.

Dependencies

  • Board item #1694 "Service onboarding — namespace, Harbor, ArgoCD, Tailscale funnel" (sprint:1, todo) — upstream dependency. Harbor registry and ArgoCD must exist before CI can push images and trigger deploys.
  • Board item #1686 "Rails app scaffold with Kalshi API client" (sprint:1, todo) — upstream dependency. Dockerfile and CI steps require a Rails app to build.
  • Board item #1695 "Kustomize deployment overlays" (sprint:2, backlog) — related but not a hard blocker for CI pipeline creation.
Dependencies are implicit in sprint ordering (sprint:1 items before sprint:2) but not explicitly documented in the issue scope. Acceptable for infra work where sprint ordering conveys dependency.

Acceptance Criteria

6 criteria, all agent-verifiable: pipeline trigger behavior (push to any branch vs main), RuboCop lint pass, RSpec with Postgres service, Kaniko image build+push, ArgoCD Image Updater pickup. Test expectations include manual push trigger and Harbor image verification. Solid and testable.

Blast Radius

Minimal. Repo is currently bare (only README.md and docs/). No existing CI config, no Dockerfile, no conflicting patterns. The .woodpecker.yaml and Dockerfile are new additions with no downstream consumers yet.

Decomposition Assessment

2 file targets across 1 repo. 6 acceptance criteria (at threshold but within bounds). Estimated agent work well under 5 minutes — straightforward CI config following an established pattern (landscaping-assistant). No decomposition needed.

Recommendation

  • [SCOPE] Create architecture note arch-ci-pipeline for the ci-pipeline component. Non-blocking — the work is well-defined without it, but traceability would be complete with the note.
No other action needed. Ticket is ready for implementation.
